Biotin (Vitamin B7): Biotin is often associated with promoting healthy hair, skin, and nails. Some individuals with biotin deficiency or certain types of hair loss may benefit from biotin supplements. However, the evidence supporting its effectiveness in treating hair loss in individuals without biotin deficiency is limited.
Vitamins and Minerals: Nutritional deficiencies in vitamins and minerals may contribute to hair loss. Ensuring adequate intake of nutrients like iron, zinc, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin A, and omega-3 fatty acids through a balanced diet or supplements may support overall hair health. However, supplementation should be based on diagnosed deficiencies and under medical guidance.
Probiotics: While the role of probiotics in hair health is not well-established, maintaining a healthy gut microbiota might indirectly impact overall health, including hair condition. Probiotics are known to support overall immune function and gut health, which may indirectly contribute to overall well-being, including hair health.
Collagen: Collagen supplements have gained attention for their potential benefits in promoting skin, hair, and nail health. Collagen is a structural protein found in the skin and hair. While some individuals report improvements in hair texture and growth with collagen supplements, more research is needed to establish their effectiveness.
Adaptogens and Herbal Supplements: Some herbal supplements, such as saw palmetto, ginseng, or ashwagandha, are believed to have potential benefits for hair health. Saw palmetto, for instance, is suggested to inhibit the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is associated with certain types of hair loss. However, evidence supporting their use for hair loss treatment is inconclusive.
